The start voltage would have been higher but I took it off the joule thief run and hooked up across 100 ohm load with out letting it settle out  for a while to reach its no load voltage.  Will do a better job.  Next time.  You know how newbies are!

Fausto: Here is the 17k run of cell across 100 ohm res.  The other cell just hit 1.206.  Will show new results tomorrow.

ahhh, beauty.


New load she immediately decayed to its new level. I notice the first decay not being exponential like an asymptotic curve. The spikes are extremely constant which is also great. That means she did not break down inside and formed irregular "reactions" to support new higher load. [/size]

[/size]
The linear up curve is a great sign of indeed extra power coming from somewhere, but a little bit too early to say that. I expect a "reverberation" of the "shock" like many waves and diminishing as it does with time, almost like a electronic pulse into a LR and slowly it decays as it oscillates.[/size]

[/size]
In this case the cell should respond with a much higher "inertia". She will most probably go up and then a long curve down (don't worry yet) and eventually settle at a lower vale of the maximum bump that you will get right at first.[/size]

[/size]
If she continues going up after that we need to pay attention to the next 3 days of "shock wave" progress. Sometimes it will break the cell apart and she will simply die really fast, faster than you would imagine and make you go scratching your head (she was going so well, umf, umf ).


If she passes those 3 days and again stabilize at a linear decay or even a flat line we are about to talk business here. If she starts growing faster even though linearly or even worse, exponentially higher we are in trouble, she is dying. I know, it does not make much sense but it is just like that.


Now, make sure ambient does not affect her too much, so do some bumps in the table with your fist and see if the graph changes abruptly or not at all. Abruptly means the crystal is also not formed yet to its mature age. If it causes a long little wave we are again in great shape (crystal is solidifying).


Some people may be wondering where I get all those "insights", well don't worry, they are only "monkey science".


For now this graph is showing the early signs of a great progress you already accomplish BUT you will need to leave her in this meter for a good MONTH.

Don't use the thief on this cell on the graph, please, let it be with just the linear load. Pulsing will change everything to a totally new area of research. I did extensive research with pulsing and those cells simply love it.


But for now lets just learn from this simple linear load.

I'm a newbie when it comes to chemistry. 

I'm thinking I'm thinking..the thing is,we don't want a karpen effect we want continuous flow here
